Admire a spectacular view of San Francisco from Twin Peaks. Located 20 minutes from the city center, the park features two of the highest points in San Francisco and is a well-known escape from the buzz of the city, where visitors can enjoy a tranquil walk or picnic with sprawling views of the Bay Area from 281 m (922 ft) up. Be sure to pack a jacket, as the area is known for windy conditions. See Twin Peaks and all San Francisco has to offer by arranging your trip with our San Francisco trip planning site.

From Twin Peaks you can enjoy the city skyline at its best on sunny days, but also at night. Even you can see Alcatraz Island and the Golden Gate bridge.

I have been going to Twin Peaks for years because I always love seeing the city from up there. You can take amazing pictures and hike. It’s accessible but I recommend going super early before 10 am because it gets crowded. One of my favorite places. You can see the golden state bridge from a distance and the whole city. I hope the city can take better care of it because the last time I was there the walls smelled like pee and beer.

There are few small trails to get to the top. Its a pretty easy hike during the day but at night time you need a strong flash light. Its also very windy up there! Amazing view tho!
